Last night a man from my Church gave a presentation on a man called C.F. Andrews. (1871-1940) C. F. Andrews was a Anglican priest from England who worked closely and became extraordinarily good friends with Mahatma Gandhi. Andrews was appalled by the racism and oppression in South Africa and India. He became involved in the Indian civil Rights struggle and the Indian Independence movement. He played a prominent role in it’s success becoming highly respected by both the Indian and British. Also known as Christ’s Faithful Apostle, Andrews was named Deenabandu, meaning Friend of the Poor, by Gandhi and his students at St. Stephen’s College.

Water has been on my mind lately. It is a good thing to have on my mind too, given I don’t get enough of it. Perhaps writing about it may connect me to it more, help me to remember how important it is for me to drink and remember what an absolute blessing it really is.

Apparently in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:2
Now
the earth
was formless and empty,
darkness was over the surface of the deep
and the

Spirit of God
was hovering

over the waters.

According to Genesis, water has been right from the start.

The human body is made up of over 70% water. Our blood is more than 80%‚ our brain … over 75%‚ and the human liver is an amazing 96% water!

John 7:38

Whoever
believes in me, as the Scripture has said
streams of living water
will flow from within him.

2 Peter 3:5(b) states
The
earth
was formed
out of water and by water
(NIV)
